Pikmin 3 and others plays best via PC monitor on a desk.

So for Pikmin are you also using the Wii mote? The Wii mote/ Gamepad is the best option for Pikmin 3 but in my experience using the Wii mote when you are very close to the TV screen/monitor can be somewhat problematic.

I'd rather have the 55 inch view, Gamepad on my left hand and wii mote in the right.
